Creating is like breathing. I believe being an artist is the only profession where what you do becomes who you are in a sense. Inherently.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love creating a combination of impressionism and realism. And bright colors. Mixed media. People are my focus, especially women but nature has my heart.
Where do you find inspiration?Life. I find inspiration in living. So much so I have to take breaks from creating to immerse myself in all that life has to offer. Breathe it in. Then I allow the inspiration to naturally flow back to me. An ebb and flow process.
What would you do with $25,000?To be completely honest in this economy, I would pay down some debt. Then invest so that I could have less stress and more time and energy to be creative. I would help out some of my family and friends as well.
